Kristina Scaglione, Licensed Clinical Social Worker- Psychotherapy Privilege

Working with me means youll have a therapist who is both straightforward and supportive. Im not the type to just sit back and nodI want you to leave our sessions with something useful you can actually apply to your everyday life. Clients often tell me they appreciate that Im warm, approachable, and honest, but also that I bring a little humor and creativity into the process. I believe therapy should feel like a partnership. Ill meet you where you are without judgment, and Ill also challenge you when its needed, because growth happens outside of our comfort zone. Whether were working through grief, relationship struggles, or just the stress of daily life, Ill help you find clarity, perspective, and practical ways to move forward. Its also important to know that I value authenticity. I bring my full self into the room, and I encourage you to do the same. I want you to feel safe, understood, and also empowered to experiment, grow, and discover new possibilities for yourself.
